Who am I

Fly and yeast genome and metabolism scientist. I obtained my PhD in Genome Sciences at the University of Washington in 2020, working in yeast genomic dynamics and fly (Drosophila melanogaster) genetic signaling. Following my PhD, I worked at a startup company as a Senior Scientist Geneticist, establishing fly transgenic strains for production of Growth Factors for the laboratory meat industry. I continued with training in metabolism and biochemistry as a Postdoctoral fellow in the Biochemistry and Chemistry department at the University of California in San Diego from 2021 - 2024.

I have over +10 years of experience training other scientists, including technical training and project management and development.

I am a member of large scientific conferences where I remain gaining knowledge and building connections around fly and yeast scientific development.
